"I've never really had to play bait before," Lisa murmured nervously as she ducked underneath an overextended branch from one of the trees on the sides of the paved walkway. "Neither have I," Leva who was behind her pointed out with a calming smile. "But I don't expect it to be too difficult." "I didn't either! But now this isn't looking that excited anymore," the other girl sulked. Her hand came up reflexively to push her glasses up her the bridge of her nose as she looked around with a frown. "I mean, how sure are they that this is going to work? Or that I'm going to be targeted at all? Maybe the assassins—" Leva laughed softly at her friend's jitteriness, prompting the witch to stop her nervous rant and fix her vampire partner with a pouting scowl. Eventually the vampire ceased her giggling and reached out to hold the other girl by her shoulders and looked directly into her warm brown eyes. "Listen to me Lisa. Do not forget that these Hunters have been doing these sort o

September 16th, 9:10 PM, Starlight Central Academy, The SCA Arboretum Park. "So tell me, does a big strong man like you always go around kicking little ladies for shits and giggles?" Hatoshi grinned at the dark haired girl whose presence had set him on edge from the moment he had first laid eyes on her tonight. "I highly doubt any one could call you creatures ladies not to mention little." "You got that right," Jade said with a smirk. In her mind's eye, she evaluated the man before her. His body was like one that had been created, tempered and purposed solely for battle. He had large muscles, not to the level of obscenity, but enough to give his blows a good deal of force behind them. And then there was that steam ability of his. That was something she still did not know just how exactly it worked. Which meant she would have to engage the man first and find out firsthand. Wonderful, in her own unbiased opinion. Without much fanfare, Jade raised a hand up and willed t

Olivia Hayes was not a fan of violence. That was an understatement. It could be better said that she despised all forms of actions that could bring harm, whether to others or to herself. There was a reason after all why her own Variant Ability had been so useful in providing aid to the body, among other things. Olivia was many things, but naive she was not. She knew that there were things in the world that would not, could not stop hurting others. People that lived to cause pain to other people. And sometimes pleading with them, even simply defeating them would be enough to keep them down. Even her very own pack mate Lee had been one of such people, but he had been able to concede in front of a higher power and restrain himself to reasonable extents. The lean Asian man in front of her did not look like he would be that reasonable. So therefore, as much as Olivia hated it, she equally knew that it was her duty as a Hunter to protect, even if it meant to destroy. To save e

Jade was beginning to wonder just what exactly this assassin was made of. Although she had only been using elemental runes so far, he had still been able to shrug off all the damage without much bother. And the damage was not exactly inconsiderable either. Jade's runes were created using the law of the world and while they would not be at their best since thee fight was not technically happening in the world, they were still no laughing matter. The entire section of the forest they were in now resembled a land that had been ravaged by the full wrath of nature. Numerous swaths of land still burned with the purple flames of her runes and massive craters pockmarked the land from her constant bombardments. The most one saw the assassin having to pick himself out of a gorge in the earth where a powerful application of a condensed gravity rune had buried him within the earth. A draft of hot steam announced his presence as he jumped out of the large crack in the earth looking absolut

As Mia Delgado accompanied Rin Sakai from the dorm building where the foreign exchange students had been allowed to stay, to the school football field where the Starlight Comets were playing their second game of the season, she could not help but feel like a total idiot. The signs had always been there. She had simply chosen not to see it. Right from the first day she had set eyes on Rin, something had felt very off about her. Whether it had been the confidence in her step or the condescendingly haughty manner in which she had scanned the entire classroom on that day that Mrs Rookwood introduced them, Mia was not sure. Back then she had resolved to simply do as she had always done with most of her problems early in life: avoid it until it disappeared on its own. Only this one not only did not disappear but rather ended up practically attached to her instead. It was so obvious now that she was aware of it. The almost deceptively pleasant smile that her perpetually fixed o

"Where are we?" Ryusuke asked Lee in a sharp tone that seemed to demand nothing but respect. Which unfortunately for him, Lee had zero intention of giving. "I'd explain it for you but I don't think your stuck up brain would be willing to accept it," the white haired young man derided. "All you need to know is that you won't be going back to the real world until I say so." Ryusuke glanced around. The forest was very much the same as it had been a few moments ago, but somehow he just knew that this was not the real world. Which meant that the Hunter had not been pulling his legs. "Is that so?" The regal looking Asian muttered and held his sword out at his side. "Will I be right to assume that the same would apply should I relieve you off your life then?" The grin that spread across Lee's face was nothing short of devious as he flexed his long crimson claws wildly. "Oh you and I are gonna get along just fine!!" With a powerful leap, he crossed the distance between them an

"You shut your mouth!" Rin yelled as she rushed in for a frontal slash that aimed to bisect the alpha Hunter. 'So she's sensitive about her brother huh?' Michael made the observation even as he effortlessly dodged her attacks before retaliating with a backhand that her sword flashed up to block. Successful as that was, it did nothing to mitigate the amount of force behind the blow. Rin was sent flying backwards where she righted herself in midair and kicked off towards him again. This time she aimed low, seeking to unbalance the Hunter. Rather dodge out of few way, Michael moved with a sudden burst of speed and brought his foot down on the flat of the sword. The unpredictable action nearly forced the weapon from the female assassin's hands but she recovered with admirable speed and lashed out with an overhead kick in an impressive show of her flexibility. Michael caught tee kick with his right hand and shifted to release her sword while simultaneously flinging her away like a ra
The Hunters Volume Two: War Chapter Fifty Nine: The Hunters' Awakening
The Dead Man's Midnight Menagerie. That was the name of his ability. The power that allowed Koya Omori to summon all sorts of creatures and monsters from any folktale he had ever heard. Having grown up in a hidden clan that had existed for generations beneath the shadow of civilization through out its modernization, he had had no shortage of material to fuel the power that had been gifted to him by the clan elders. Japanese folklore was full of all sorts of stories about beasts and demons, creatures and monsters whose very existence could send shivers down the spine of the strongest and bravest of warriors. Beings that brought nothing but death and destruction everywhere they went. Such was the fear of them that their stories were used to keep rowdy children in line, lest the monsters of the night would sniff out their misbehavior, hunt them down and devour them whole. And yet... No matter what he did... No matter how many beasts he summoned... That damned Hunter had
